CP’s Oil Spill 100 Times BiggerThan Thought

Aproximate site of the CP Derailment and oil spill, west of White River. SubmittedJust days after CP rail's

oil spill in Minnesota, therailroad suffered a secondspill when 20 cars of a 128mixed freight trainderailed west of WhiteRiver. Two tankers carry-ing crude oil were original-ly said to have temporarilyleaked a small amount ofoil onto the ground.

Wednesday's spill, only200 meters from the WhiteRiver, was originallythough to be only 4 barrels(approximately 600 litres).This was quickly cleanedup and trucked to a locallandfill.

By Thursday morningCP was reporting that thespill was much bigger than

originally estimated. Up to100 times bigger. As muchas 400 barrels of oil(63,000 litres) had leakedunnoticed from the secondtanker. With many otherdamaged railcars surround-ing it, the oil leaking underthe nearby snow was notimmediately obvious.When the extent of the spillwas discovered, CP con-structed a berm around thespill and began clean-upefforts.

The TransportationSafety Board is investigat-ing the derailment andEnvironment Officers atthe site are supervisingcleanup.

This was the first major

rail spill since a boom inoil production began tooutgrow the capacity of thepipeline system.

Industry and environ-mentalists have been argu-ing about which method oftransporting oil is safer.The pipeline industryclaims that they havefewer spills than the railindustry, but rail compa-nies insist that their spills,while more frequent, aresmaller.

Uncertainty about thefuture of the KeystonePipeline, which is beingheld up by the ObamaGovernment, has slowedlong term decision makingon the subject.

Terrace Bay’s 2013Budget Holds theLinePeggy Ireland - Staff

Terrace Bay Mayor MikeKing credited administra-tion staff with the earlycompletion of this year'sbudget. He said the staffput in many many hours toget all the details togetherso that the complicatedprocess could go assmoothly as possible.

Terrace Bay's 2013 totaloperating budget is $5.9million dollars with anadditional $351,000 in thecapital budget bringing thetotal to $6.3 million dollars.

This includes a numberof mandatory programssuch as ambulance andsocial housing which thetown gets reimbursed for.

Grants, programs, reim-bursements and other fundssuch as Rec dues and dogtags pay part of the cost,leaving a levy of $3.4 mil-lion to be covered by prop-erty taxes.

Although the levy hasseen a 3.7% increase fromlast year, this year ’sreassessment processmeans that most industrialand multi-residential tax-payers will see a doubledigit increase.

A zero vacancy rate in ayear when apartment build-ings are up for reassess-

ment was the main causean increase for buildingowners this year said King.

Residential rates will goup 0.12% which will meanan increase of just $3 onthe average home. Waterrates will not be increased.

King called some of theproposed projects “nice tohaves”, such as resurfacingthe tennis court. Mainte-nance projects like repaint-ing the metalwork at theAguasabon Gorge includ-ing all the railings havebeen included in the bud-get.

Money has been putaside to repave streetswhere they had to be tornup during the winter forwaterline repairs and forthings like Christmaslights, Canada Day andLake Superior Day cele-brations.

“We are trying to movethe community forward ina positive way,” said King.“We want to make thetown an attractive place tobe for residents and newpeople who might bethinking about movinghere.”

A copy of the budgetand the town's 2011 – 2014Strategic Plan can be seenat the town office.

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things inheaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were createdby him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, thechurch; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have supremacy. ForGod was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether thingson earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:15-20).

As a teen I would pick up a bible from time to time and try to read something out of it. I was always perplexed as Iread a bunch of jumbled stories and teachings that made no sense at all. “How can anyone say this book is God’s word”were my thoughts. Does God expect the average teen to be able to make sense of all these random stories and saying?It all seemed like a strange mystery to me, until one day it seemed that someone had given me a key to the mystery. Itwas like I understood for the first time what the apostle Paul was saying in the verses above. I finally understood thatall of these stories and sayings were pointing to the one who unlocks the mystery of God and history.

As I began to pray and reach out to Jesus it was like a wave of refreshing reality flooded my soul. Truth had madean entrance point into my life and it wasn’t a philosophy or theory, but a person. I understood that Christ was the per-fect image of God and that through him, there is restoration of the distance between God and people, and when that gapis closed, we start becoming who we were created to be: image bearers. This is an amazing thought: of actually find-ing our truest purpose and destiny in life. It seems many people tread lightly around Jesus, and for obvious reason.

As Nelson Mandella said “It’s not our smallness and weakness we most fear, it’s our greatness” When I am facedwith the God that sent the perfect one to die on a cross for me, it causes me to tremble. How could God see somethingof such worth in me, that he would invite me to draw near to him through the costly price paid on a cross. It may befearful to think why God would invite us to draw near, but the invitation stands. May we not let fear rob us of answer-ing such a life giving invitation.

Treasurer SJ Spadonithen gave a verbal updateon the progress of the 2012audit which Grant Thorn-ton should have completedby the end of the month.

Council accepted thetreasurers report onReserve Fund Consolida-tion which recommendedthat the current 76 bud-getary line items be amal-gamated into 18 distinctcategories. This will notaffect a change in value ofthe Reserve Fund, only theway the funds are distrib-uted.

Residential ratepayerswill see a tiny 0.12%increase on their propertytaxes equal to approximate-ly $3 on the average house.Commercial properties willsee a 1% increase. Therewill be no increase in waterrates for 2013.

A number of factorsallowed the town to keepthe rate increase low thisyear including a decreasein the education rate, and achange in the municipalassessment. An adjustmentin the OPP's 2012 operat-ing costs returned $28,000to the town, a savings ofalmost 10% on the$380,000 annual policingbudget.

Shovel, shovel and shovel again! We were reallyspoiled last year when by March, the snow was almostall melted. The good news is that we are officially inforest fire season and by the looks of all the whitestuff, we have nothing to worry about!

Have you had the talk yet? No, not THAT one, theone about organ donation--have you discussed it withyour family? Have you made your decision, become adonor and made your wishes clear to your family?Could you take two minutes right now to consider it?Oh, by the way, age doesn’t matter, just in case you arewondering. Right now, 4000 Canadians are waiting foran organ transplant. Last year, only 1,803 transplantswere performed. Canada has one of the worst rates ofthe industrialized countries with 13 donors per onemillion people. Thirteen per million--that is not good,people. We can do better than that. Do you know howmany people can benefit from one organ and tissuedonor? Eighty. Yes, 8-0! That’s astounding!

I realize that we all have issues surrounding our tis-sues, so before you make your final decision, read up onorgan donation. There are many sites to access that willanswer any questions you might have. I know it doesn’tfeel right to be signing away your body before you aredone with it, but the organs are not going to be retrieveduntil you are declared officially dead. In my mind, I fig-ure if they are of no use to me at that point, then why notgive them to another who may get the opportunity to livea full life. What better gift can your final one be than tosave a life, or give better quality of life to another?

I encourage you to have this discussion with yourfamily and join me as an organ donor. It is your finalgift and will benefit so many. I can think of no betterway to exit this world than on the coat tail of generosi-ty. Take a moment. Consider the impact your actionsright now may have many, many years down the road.Ask the questions. Get the answers. Then have thediscussion with your family so they know your inten-tions. And on behalf of all the future recipients ofthese beautiful gifts, I give my deepest gratitude to youfor your final action of granting wishes.

Paulette Lalonde ForsythMy World.......And Welcome To It

It takes a good bout witha virus to make you realizeand appreciate the joy ofgood health. You slugthrough a day, complainingabout this and that, not everstopping to consider yourgood fortune that you arecapable of slugging out theday until caboom, you getsucker punched by a nastyvirus. Then you lay on thecouch with a jar of Vick’sRub and a box of Kleenexand recall how great you feltthe day before when youwere slugging it through.Reality hurts...well, actual-ly, it sniffles and coughs.

If you could just laythere, limp like a noodle,and not be bothered, nobodyelse would have to suffer.On the contrary, if you haveto make Easter Supper whenyou feel like you’ve justbeen run over by a truck,life can be filled with pro-fane exclamations, if youknow what I mean!

So there I was, on EasterSunday, trying to put togeth-er a lovely supper with allthe trimmings for eight that

progress of a meal I had nointention of eating...myappetite had been downsized to tea and the occa-sional Tylenol. I lookedoutside at the blusteringsnow and the white outsand I felt as miserable as itlooked. The husband triedto lighten my mood bypainting a visual of theEaster Bunny up to hiskiester in a snow drift butall I could think about was‘where does all this mucouscome from?’ Finally, sup-per was ready and the hus-band helped me set every-thing out on the table.

It was a delicious spreadmeant for many but servedfor two. I glanced at thegolden duck and stuffedchicken resting on the plat-ter, the fluffy mashed pota-toes waiting to be bathedin hot gravy, the three sal-ads that decorated the tablewith their array ofcoloured veggies, the pero-gies coated with onionsand bacon, the meat piesteaming in the distance,the brussel sprouts glisten-ing with butter, the pickletray, my personal favorite,filled with a variety ofhomemade pickles and aheap of olives--and thefour fruit pies on thecounter...and threw up!

diminished to two whenthe snow storm hit. Ialready had everythingcooking so there was noturning back, except tosneeze. My sinuses hurtso bad, they made my eyesbulge out of the dark motesurrounding them. I couldonly breath through mymouth, which every toothached from because of thepressure building in myhead.

The bones refused tocarry the weight of mybody and screamed inrebellion. The constantfever replaced the blast ofhot flashes, with briefappearances by the chills.It was a performance I did-n’t purchase tickets to butobviously had attained bydefault. The husbandentered the kitchen at onepoint and could hardly seethrough the steam.“Where are you?” heyelled, because my earswere plugged shut. “I’mstanding over the boilingpots on the stove, trying toget some nasal relief,” Icroaked, because rightabout then, my voice wasbeing hijacked. He lookeddisgusted. I didn’t care.

I continued to dragmyself from the couch tothe stove, checking on the

Bilingual-ness Adds to CanadianHeritgage

It is next to impossible todetermine the exact num-ber of people in the worldwho are bilingual, butaccording to some esti-mates approximately halfthe world's population canin fact speak more than onelanguage. According toStatistics Canada's 2011Census data on language,over 19 million Canadiansspeak English most often athome, while over 7 millionspeak French most often athome, and 5.8 million indi-viduals identify themselvesas being conversant in bothofficial languages. So whydoes Canada consider itselfto be a bilingual country?

Between 2006 and 2011,the number of people whoreported being able to con-duct a conversation in bothof Canada's official lan-guages increased by nearly350,000 to 5.8 million. Thebilingualism rate of theCanadian populationclimbed slightly from17.4% in 2006 to 17.5% in2011.

Language policies andthe politics surroundingCanada's two official lan-guages predate CanadianConfederation in 1867. Inthe early 1700s, both theFrench and the English hadlarge, well-establishedcolonial populations. TheFrench colonists spoke

French, were mostlyCatholics and had devel-oped their own legal andpolitical civil law system,while the English colonistswho spoke English, weremostly Protestants and hadadopted their own commonlaw tradition and legal sys-tem.

The language of Cana-da's settlers, whetherFrench or English, wasdeeply rooted in their senseof identity and culture, andthis sentiment still existstoday, so much so that lan-guage politics have affect-ed not only the day-to-dayoperations of federal insti-tutions but also the culturaland linguistic makeup ofCanadian society. To thosewho are bilingual, bilin-gualism is much more thanjust being able to say wordsand phrases in a languageother than their own—it's adoorway to new opportuni-ties and possibilities. In thelearning of a second lan-guage, a person's curiosityto learn more about a cul-ture and its people as wellas finding new and differ-ent ways of co-existing,celebrating and viewing theworld is ignited. As bilin-gualism grows and devel-ops in Canada, so does agreater appreciation andacceptance of the richness

St. Martin of Tours Concluded

Fire Deaths Caused by Missing Smoke DetectorsAfter four members ofone East Gwil imburyfamily tragically perishedin a March 29 f ire, theOffice of the Fire Marshal(OFM) has confirmedthat there was a delay inthe detection of the fatalfire caused by a lack ofsmoke detectors on themain floor.

Preliminary findingshave revealed that the fireoriginated in the home’smain floor laundry room.As the f i re developed,smoke and flameswere drawn up alarge centrals ta i rcase to thesecond s torey -trapping the fam-ily in the masterbedroom.When afamily membermade the 911call, fire conditions onthe home’s main floor hadalready blocked al lavenues of escape.

The delay in the detec-t ion of this f i re can beattributed to two factors.First, the lack of a smokealarm on the main floor,and two, while there was

a security/fire alarm sys-tem in the home that pro-vided coverage for thesecond storey and base-ment; this system’swir ing ran through themain floor laundry areawhere the fire originated.The OFM team has estab-l ished this wir ing wascompromised early in thefire and this would haverendered the entire systeminoperable.

The scene examinationphase of the fire investi-

gat ion has concluded.However, several forensicexaminations and testswill be required to deter-mine the cause of the fire.

The OFM will continuei ts comprehensive f i reinvestigation into the ori-gin, cause and circum-stances of the fire with

assis tance from theOffice of the Chief Coro-ner, York Regional PoliceService and the Town ofEast Gwillimbury Emer-gency Services.

S imple s t eps fo rhome fire escape plan-ning include: • Determining who willbe responsible for help-ing young ch i ld ren ,older adults or anyoneelse that due to cogni-tive or physical limita-tions may require addi-

tional assistanceto escape. • Mak ing su reeveryone knowstwo ways out ofyour residence. • Checking thata l l ex i t s a r eunobstructed andeasy to access.

• Designating a meetingplace outside the home,such as a tree or a lamppos t , where eve ryonecan be accounted for.• Calling the fire depart-ment f rom outs ide thehome, from a cell phoneor neighbour’s home.

“This tragic incident reinforces the importance ofearly detection of a fire in your home.Ontario lawrequires that working smoke alarms be located onevery storey of the home and outside all sleeping

areas. In addition to smoke alarms, everyone mustknow what to do when the smoke alarm sounds -

developing and practising a home fire escape planis your best chance of surviving a fire in your

home.” - Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal

affair. Game 1 on FridayMarch 22 saw theSaarimaki rink take a leadof 7-3 after 5 ends. TheJoseph rink fought backhard falling just one pointshy, 7-6 after 8 ends.

Game #2 on SaturdayMarch 23 saw theSaarimaki team take whatseemed aninsurmountable lead afterscoring 4 points in the 1st,3rd and 4th ends. But theJoseph rink did not giveup and continued, hopingagain to claw back intothe lead. After scoring 3in the 5th end, the Josephrink stole in both the 6thand 7th ends to makethings interesting.Unfortunately for theJoseph rink the Saarimakilead was just too much ofa gap to conquer. TheSaarimaki won the game12-9 and was awarded theRegion 3 ladieschampions.

What Do Fingers and Hands Have To Do With How Well Studied Material Can Be RecalledAccording to research,

the physical act of holdinga pen and writing some-thing out by hand stimu-lates critical activity in spe-cific areas of the brain. In arecent study, one grouplearned the alphabet bywriting the letters out byhand. The other group readsolely off computers. Thegroup who wrote out theletters by hand had better

recall and scored better ontests.

According to Dr. NickWhitehead, the CEO andfounder of Oxford Learn-ing, these studies provewhat educators have longknown about studying andremembering,

“There are many differ-ent ways to approach theprocess of studying, butone of the best-known has

always been to create studynotes using pen and paper,”he said.

It may seem an old-fash-ioned practice given theabundance of personaltechnology that studentshave at their fingertips, butthe act of physically writ-ing creates a motor memo-ry in the brain thatimproves recall.

Not only do study notes

help students organize thematerial, the act of holdingthe pen and writing notesmakes the study processactive, rather than passive.

How to Create StudyNotes:

• Grab a pen andpaper.

• Read over all in-class or textbook notes.

• Write down subjectheadings, subheadings, and

bolded or key words.• Focus on writing

down the ideas or conceptsthat are the most challeng-ing, or that are the most dif-ficult to remember.
